IAACC and the CMO

International Avenue Arts & Culture Centre serves as an Arts, Recreation, and Community Hub, celebrating the rich ethno-cultural diversity thriving in Calgary’s Greater Forest Lawn (GFL) communities. Our primary partnership is with the Calgary Multicultural Orchestra (CMO), a free el Sistema music program serving over 70 children throughout each school year.

Our initiatives also include:
